March 26, 1920 –
I regretted my lost youth when I only envy the delights of losing it. Youth is like having a big plate of candy. Sentimentalists think they want to be in the pure, simple state they were in before they ate the candy. They don’t. They just want the fun of eating it all over again. The matron doesn’t want to repeat her girlhood—she wants to repeat her honeymoon. I don’t want to repeat my innocence. I want the pleasure of losing it again. – F. Scott Fitzgerald
I don’t know why I bother bringing this up but F. Scott Fitzgerald’s first novel was published on this date, bringing his talents into the spotlight.
The novel This Side of Paradise immediately launching 23-year-old F. Scott Fitzgerald to fame and fortune.
But what do you care, you don’t read anything, anyway.
